Whatever happened to the Cringley reported mass layoffs?

IBM’s big layoff-cum-reorganization called Project Chrome kicks-off next week when 26 percent of IBM employees will get calls from their managers followed by thick envelopes on their doorsteps. By the end of February all 26 percent will be gone. I’m told this has been in the planning for months and I first heard about it back in November.

- kjs3 11y agoThose articles are from January, and Cringley said 25% of the workforce would be gone by Feb. It never happened. There have been layoff, and one day in the future it might amount to 100k, but nothing like 100k people in a month, or 5. Typical Cringley "take this little fact, coat thickly with histrionics and invective to drive clicks, and declare yourself a genius insider when the little fact turns out to be true".
